" Really, really liked this book. Not for the squeamish, because the author details the whole undertaking process, but the story is SO well-written and engaging. I especially liked the bits with Wild Bill Hickock. "
" It was okay, not really impressed. "
" This may possible be the worst book I've ever read. I decided to stick with it and finish it, hoping it would get better, but it didn't. "
" interesting, a little morbid, but well written "
" Sadly disappointing as I usually love Estleman's westerns. This had the usual excellent historical detail showing that the author must do a ton of research but the story never really went anywhere and the characters never seemed to grow or change. "
" Read for class (Book Lust - genre reading) "
